For those of you who haven't seen these videos yet, here's a trio of great performances from artist Guillaume Reymond and his GAME OVER Project. These are stop motion videos of popular classic games by using people in an auditorium with colour coded t-shirts. You can find more of these via Youtube, or through the groups official website at: http://www.notsonoisy.com/gameover/

I highly recommend the Space Invaders video as well, excellent choreography and a surprisingly accurate interpretation. Below is the Tetris video, enjoy!

Remember nearly three months ago when I said I needed a pole vaulting coach to reach Lori Baker's record of 841 lines in Tetris DX?

Well it seems that I'll need around 5000 Crackdown agility orbs to reach the new record made by Neil Gewirtz. This Tetris freak of nature just set a new world record with 2,349 lines for a total of 2,426,967 points in a span of over 2 hours straight!

Setting aside my admiration for this achievement for the moment, I have to wonder how much practice this guy has had. If I play for over an hour I see Tetronimoes in my sleep or everytime I close my eyes for hours afterwards. Not to mention my thumbs almost fall off. And that's only for a couple of 500+ line games!

Now it seems my place in the line of succession for the Crown of the Kingdom of Blocks is permanently out of reach. Instead of being a potential front runner for the throne, I'm like the cousin to the sister-in-law of the guy who shines the King's shoes.Tongue
